anybody got anything? I need a little help...
86-1/2 through 97 are pretty interchangeable on the front body. As mentioned, the early HB's had the fake air inlets on the hood. You also had differances in the bumpers, grille and marker lamps....black vs. chrome....power vs. manual side mirrors...
I put a '96 or so re-pro grill in my '86.5
Have to take off the bumper and turn signals to put it in. My only problem was that It didn't not line up exactly with the turn signals, or with the mounting holes in the radiator support.
When I went to put the bumper on, I couldn't hook the back lip of it on the frame horns to get it to slide on any longer because the grill interefered. So I had to cut two notches in the back of my bumper so that it would just slide on.
It looks fine however, I'll post pictures later.

The last models (like my 97) have sealed beam headlights rather that the plastic units. I believe there are some issues changing them out.
